I finally got the nerve (and the board) to try hand soldering a damned tiny microcontroller to an adapter board. It really wasn’t that hard, however at this point I don’t actually know if it works.

bumble-b
It is a breakout board for Atmel’s at90usb162 microcontroller, along with supporting hardware and USB connector.

You can program Bumble-B without any special hardware and using entirely free and open source software from Atmel and the AVR community.

You can find it at Fletchtronics.net. Tell him ArmedGeek sent you and he might write “Bomb Parts” on the package before he mails it.
